Jeff Ball’s extra-point attempt following a Holy Family touchdown in the second extra frame proved to be the difference. The two teams had traded touchdowns and two-point conversions in the first overtime.

“We felt pretty confident with what we were doing going into the second overtime,” said Holy Family coach Mike Gabriel, whose team needed Dave Sommers’ four-yard rushing score with under three minutes to play to even force overtime.

“It was a huge win for us,” Gabriel added. “It keeps us on track for a league title.

“They ran the ball pretty well. We had no answer for them.”

At least, it seems, until the second overtime.

3A: Skyline 29, (2) Silver Creek 28 (OT). Israel Valdez scored on a five-yard run in overtime and the Falcons added a two-point conversion for the win.

Garret Angstead threw a touchdown pass with less than a minute to get the game to overtime tied at 21. That was after Silver Creek scored a minute earlier.

5A: Mullen 28, (5) Columbine 18. Trailing 7-6 at the half, Mullen took the third in the third quarter, then went up 21-10 with five minutes left in the game.

Columbine cut things to 21-18, but Mullen sealed things with a rushing touchdown in the final minute.

4A: (5) Windsor 18, Loveland 14. Trailing 8-0 at the half, Windsor rallied to take an 18-8 lead then held on for the win.

“We started off slow, but turned it around in the third,” said Windsor coach Chris Jones.

“We were well-prepared for their offense and defended well.”

5A: Rangeview 25, Gateway 24. Rangeview rallied from a 24-13 deficit with three minutes left in the third quarter to stun Gateway.

5A: (3) Ponderosa 3, Falcon 0. Colton Carr hit a 22-yard field goal just before the half, and Ponderosa’s defense did the rest to win.

Big Sunday at the sold-out PC, where the Avalanche never trailed in a 5-1 victory over Detroit. Given the score and the circumstance, our game story is all about Nathan MacKinnon and his Hart Trophy candidacy.

Six seasons of fighting onto rosters and into starting roles caught the eye of the Broncos, who believe Case Keenum's mentality will be contagious in the locker room and his skill will stabilize an offense in disarray.
